Adsorption/Membrane Filtration as a Contaminant Concentration and Separation Process for Mixed Wastes and Tank Wastes - Final Report

Description: This project was conducted to evaluate novel approaches for removing radioactive strontium (Sr) and cesium (Cs) from the tank wastes. The bulk of the Sr removal research conducted as part of this project investigated adsorption of Sr onto a novel adsorbent known as iron-oxide-coated sand. The second major focus of the work was on the removal of cesium. Since the chemistries of strontium and cesium have little commonality, different materials (namely, cesium scavengers known as hexacyanoferrates… more

Adsorption/membrane filtration as a contaminant concentration and separation process for mixed wastes and tank wastes. Progress report, 1996--1997

Description: 'The goal of this research is the development of a treatment system for the separation of contaminants in low-organic Hanford tank wastes into sub-groups that can subsequently be processed and appropriately disposed of. Since many of the contaminants of concern are associated with solids, initial experimental work has focused on characterizing the particulate matter in Hanford waste and understanding the filterability of this waste through membranes. Removal of some of the soluble contaminants … more

Adsorption/membrane filtration as a contaminant concentration and separation process for mixed wastes and tank wastes. 1998 annual progress report

Description: 'This report describes progress through May, 1998, which is a little past mid-way through the second year of a three-year project. The goal of the research is to develop a treatment system for the separation of contaminants in low-organic Hanford tank wastes into various sub-groups that are relatively easy to treat further to yield products that are amenable to final disposal. The main target contaminants are Sr and Cs, although heavy metals and actinide-group elements are also targets. Effort … more
